Hallo, ich bräuchte auch etwas zum Thema Will's changing attitude towards Marcus, und eventuell noch die Veränderung die die Freundschaft für beide zufolge hat! Charaktermäßig meine ich!

Schon im Vorraus vielen Dank!
Liebe Grüße

Von mir auch noch mal ein großes Lob und vielen vielen Dank für die nette Unterstützung, die man hier bekommt!! smile

Ich habe das Buch schon gelesen, mein Englisch ist jedoch nicht das Beste und da unsere Lehrerin es trotzdem für nötig hält, eine Klausur über "About a boy" schreiben zu lassen, waren mir die hier geposteten Rezensionen eine große Hilfe. smile

--> @Gast :
1. Die Ente war dazu da, dass Will und Marcus sich näher kennen lernen, weil Will ja für Marcus einspringt als der Parkwächter die tote Ente sieht. (Die Passage war echt witzig. Big Laugh )

2. Ich tendiere zu der Erzählperspektive "figural narrative situation", da die Perspektive ja von Kapitel zu Kapitel wechselt.


Zu guter Letzt.... noch ein Wörtchen an die Kandidaten, denen erst so freundlich geholfen wird bei ihren Problemen, die sich dann jedoch an anderen Menschen stören, die selber Hilfe brauchen und dazu dann Kommentare wie "Lest doch einfach das Buch." und "Macht eure Aufgaben selber" posten.
Normal??? ô.O
